The future of Pateley Bridge Methodist Church.
Sadly, after being an integral part of the community of Pateley Bridge for many years the Methodist Church has come to a time, as numbers attending have diminished, and folk have got older, where we can no longer continue as we have been doing.
The future of the building has to be considered, and the church has taken the decision to sell the building unless, after conversation with the wider community, an alternative way forward can be found. We are therefore seeking views and ideas from you.
There is further information available on the reasons for this decision and a bit about the building as well as how to be involved in discussions about the future.
If you want this please email pateleybridgemethodist@gmail.com .We are interested in your views and ideas as it seems a shame if a building in the centre of the town is lost for future use by this community.
We will be holding open a coffee morning on the following Tuesdays at 10am to 11.30am at Pateley Bridge Methodist Church if you want to chat to us: 1st July 2025.
You can also send comments via email to pateleybridgemethodist@gmail.com or you can drop comments into a box at Pateley Bridge Methodist Church.
